Eco on Steam: Feb 6th. Alpha Rewards! 6.3 Released!

After 3 years in development, Eco is coming to Steam.

We’re putting our Beta release on Steam Early access, and all existing purchasers will get a key!

Add us to your wishlist here:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/382310/Eco/

 

On Feb 6th, we plan to drop the price from $40 to $30, with regional pricing.

As a thanks to everyone who has supported us up to this point with the higher price, we’re gifting a set of Alpha Rewards.  Anyone who buys the game before Feb 6th (and all existing customers) will find these aesthetic items in their inventories when they enter any server:

Meteor Shard

You keep this fragment of the meteor that orbits overhead with you for good (or possibly bad) luck, dangling it on a chain off your backpack. You can also carry it around, and it glows slightly at night.

STEAM PUNK HAT AND GOOGLES

For pioneers looking to contribute to the economies of Eco by building machinery, there is no better option than this stylish outfit.  (It’s also an homage to our first game Vessel).

FANCY ICON

Your name in chat will be adorned with a logo signifying your early support and contribution to Eco.

These rewards will be in the 6.4 release, and you’ll automatically start the game with them. All purchasers (including players invited through the multi-packs) will receive them till Feb 6th, after that they will no longer be available.   You can pick up Alpha at our website at:
